My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 9 The Search for the Daughter

Li Jiuhe ignored the arrival of the police and quickly drove around the small residential area.

Li Yi was not seen.

Although the transmigrator has taken over Li Yi's body, this body is far too weak. Even with the soul of an adult, it is difficult to move around and is prone to problems.

He was anxious.

I quickly left through the side gate of the residential area and went out onto the street to search.

However, searching like this without any direction was not a solution at all, and an idea quickly arose in Li Jiuhe's mind.

He glanced at the number under his eye and found that the reset point had changed back to "2".

It's almost 4:30 AM now. Because it took about an hour to deal with the Yao Yujie incident, his reset point has automatically been restored to 1 point.

With the remaining 1 point, we now have 2 reset points available again.

The thought arose, and the task text before my eyes quickly appeared.

[Task definition successful. This task is temporarily named "Searching for Daughter".]

Li Jiuhe simply tried defining the current search for Li Yi's whereabouts as a task, and the definition was immediately successful.

This means that the current task is much simpler than the task he previously wanted to define as "solving the problem of his daughter being possessed by a time traveler," and he is capable of doing it with his current abilities.

However, resolving the issue of his daughter being possessed is beyond his current capabilities.

More task information is displayed.

[Title: The Search for the Daughter]

[Level: None]

[Requirement: Locate your daughter, Li Yi, within a 500-meter radius and ensure her safety.]

[Reward: Reset points are instantly restored by 2.]

[Note: This event may appear ordinary, but it could involve an anomaly.]

This is the benefit of defining what needs to be done right now as a task.

In reality, Li Jiuhe had no clue how to find Li Yi, but once he defined it as a mission, he naturally obtained some information.

For example, based on the "requirements" in the mission, he learned that Li Yi was currently within a 500-meter radius.

Furthermore, the mission description also reminded him that the incident might involve anomalies.

The area within a radius of 500 meters is not far; it's roughly the area surrounding the perimeter of the residential area. As long as we're sure Li Yi hasn't gone far, it's fine.

Just after the task information was displayed, another line of familiar text quickly appeared.

The current task reset point has been automatically set.

Without further delay, Li Jiuhe immediately started running around the roads surrounding the residential area.

At the same time, he pricked up his ears, listening intently for any unusual sounds around him, and looked around as he ran.

The area is lined with shops and self-built houses, and a section of the road runs right up to the back of the mountain. Apart from a row of cars parked along the roadside, there are hardly any people to be seen at this moment.

Li Jiuhe ran quickly across the street with shops and turned onto a street near the back of the residential area.

I had only run a few steps forward when I heard a soft "plop" sound, followed by a painful groan from someone.

The sound came from ahead.

His heart tightened, and he quickened his pace and rushed forward. Just as he rounded a black SUV parked on the side of the road, he saw a middle-aged man in tattered clothes with Li Yi.

The scene before him made Li Jiuhe's pupils shrink instantly, and his expression turned terrified.

Li Yi's thin and small figure was seen suspended in mid-air, half a meter off the ground, with a large amount of water surging around her body.

These water streams, suspended in the air and making a gurgling sound, remained condensed and did not disperse, completely enveloping Li Yi, creating an extremely eerie scene!

At this moment, Li Yi raised her hands high and frantically thrashed about, kicking her legs wildly, just like a drowning person, her expression one of extreme pain.

The middle-aged man, who was only four or five steps away from her, had a dagger stuck in his abdomen. His face was slightly pale, and he was gritting his teeth, bending over, carefully pulling the dagger out of his abdomen with his right hand.

"Xiao Yi!"

Seeing that Li Yi was in critical condition, Li Jiuhe rushed over without thinking twice.

The man was startled, realizing that the other party had come to help. He quickly took a few steps back and at the same time increased the speed at which he drew his sword.

Just as Li Jiuhe was about to rush up behind Li Yi, his vision suddenly blurred and a muffled horn sounded in his ear.

Turning his head, he saw a heavy truck loaded with goods speeding towards him from his left.

The blinding lights seemed to have just appeared, but they were only about ten meters away.

Before he could even think about what was going on, Li Jiuhe instinctively turned and lunged towards the grass beside him.

The truck passed right next to him, and somehow grazed Li Jiuhe's left ankle, causing his ankle and below to go numb instantly.

After he fell to the ground, his left foot was in excruciating pain. He hurriedly looked at the strange truck speeding past.

When Li Jiuhe saw the license plate number on the back of the car, he was terrified. He forgot his pain, his eyes glazed over, as if he had fallen into a dream.

The license plate number was "Wang A 9027C".

The license plate number that Li Jiuhe remembers most clearly in his life is this one, because the license plate of the car that killed his wife three years ago was "Wang A 9027C"!

The same license plate, and the same large truck—upon closer inspection, the truck's appearance appears to be the same vehicle that killed the wife!

Why is this car here?! And why is it heading straight for me?

For a moment, Li Jiuhe's mind went blank, his thoughts were in chaos, and he had no idea what had happened.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in tattered clothes had already pulled the silver dagger out of his abdomen. With one hand covering the wound and the other hand gripping the dagger, he quickly approached the completely bewildered Li Jiuhe.

This guy was ruthless and without any hesitation, he slashed his neck with a knife.

The blow was extremely powerful, and the silver dagger was exceptionally sharp, instantly severing half of Li Jiuhe's neck.

Li Jiuhe had no time to react. He felt a chill on his neck and immediately realized that he could no longer breathe. He could only gasp for breath with difficulty as blood gushed out from his severed neck.

Before the thought even formed, the scene before my eyes instantly changed.

His gaze settled, his hands still instinctively clutching his neck, then he looked around in terror, realizing he was back at the reset point automatically set by the mission—outside the side gate of the residential complex.

"Did... my mission reset automatically?!"

Li Jiuhe was still shaken. He still had the illusion that his throat had been slit, and his heart was still beating as fast as it had been.

But the mission just now clearly failed; it turns out that the mission would automatically reset after I was killed.

I looked at my ankle, which had been broken by the truck, and it had fully recovered.

He touched his throat again, confirming that with the mission reset, everyone and everything in the mission, including himself, had been restored.

However, Li Jiuhe still felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, he had defined the mission in advance, otherwise he would have been completely dead by now.

"What exactly is that time traveler who possessed my daughter doing? And why did that ragged man try to kill me? More importantly, why did the truck that ran over my wife suddenly appear?"

Filled with questions, Li Jiuhe ran towards the back mountain street again.

This time, knowing the destination saved him time, allowing him to arrive at the scene earlier than before.
